The Review of the Rashomon

The Rashomon is a famous Japanese movie directed by the Akira Kurosawa. It is a symbol that the Japanese movies have gone global. And it is also told a story about the humanity.

The story looks like a inferential movie at the first sight. It is beginning at a raining day and three people—a monk, a famer and a woodcutter—was taking shelter from rain in the rashomon. The monk and the woodcutter told a strange murder case to the farmer. Why the murder was strange? Because what the witnesses said are absolutely not the same at all!

In this murder case, the people who was murdered is a warrior. The monk had saw him and his wife before. And the murderer was a robber. But what the robber, the warrior’s wife and the warrior himself (through a witch we can know what the warrior said) have a lot argument.

What the robber said are as followed. When the warrior took his wife across the woods, the robber was sleeping under a tree. A gust of wind flowing and the robber saw the beautiful wife’s face. He fell in love with the warrior’s wife and made a decision to rob her. So, he cheated the warrior and bind him in a tree. Then, he took the warrior’s wife there and raped her. Then, the wife required the two

men duel and she would follow the winner. Finally, the robber killed the warrior and won on, but the wife had run away when they duel.

But the wife said, the robber run away after raped her. Her husband looked her as a avoid sight, she was so sad and begged her husband to kill her. But it was not work. Finally, she was too sad to keep mind. When she recovered the conscious, his husband has already dead, with her dagger stick in his chest.

And what the warrior said is another version. After the robber raped his wife, he began persuade her to marry him. And his wife agreed. His wife was so vicious that she let the robber to kill her husband. The robber was also shocked by this woman and felt very angry. So the robber decided helped the warrior to punish the woman. Finally, the robber gone and the woman run away. The warrior felt downhearted and killed himself.

The murder seems muzzy now, but in fact, the woodcutter had see all the things. He said the truth finally.

In fact, the robber raped the wife and bagged her to marry him. The woman said nothing but crying, and unfasten her husband. And everyone knows the means: she wanted the two men to duel, and give her husband a chance to revenge. But the warrior is a timid person and express it is not worth to dual for the woman. The robber thought so. We can know how anger and sad the woman

was. And she instigated two men to duel. Finally, the two men, timid as the rabbits, had a dual, and the robber killed the warrior lucky. We can see everyone told the lie and they all made the advantage to themselves. No matter what the truth on earth it is. In fact, the woman’s dagger was occupied by the farmer. And it is also the reason why he not told the truth to the policemen. The evil is the people’s nature or not, it is a question.

At the last of the movie, the three people found a baby was abandoned in the rashomon. The farmer robed the baby’s clothes without the shame, and he thought the people are all evils, and it is the baby’s parents should in charge of the baby’s unlucky. Finally, the woodcutter adopted the baby, and gave the audience a little hope to the humanity.

The Review of the Godfather

The Godfather is one of the best important works in the history of the movies. It tells a story about the gangster. And it is the greatest gangster film of all time. We can not only catch a glimpse of the life of the gangsters through this movie, but can know the principle that we have to accept something we dislike, for the duty, or someone we love.

The director, Francis Ford Coppola, suggested as much when he said that it was a “romance about a king with three sons” (the king Lear). Don Corleone is the boss of a gangster organization, and he has many godsons. He enjoys the role of a godfather, for what he value is not the power or money but the family, the friendship and the respect. And he has his own principle, for example he never sale the drugs. He is really the representative of the justice of the gangster.

The old Godfather has three sons, Fredo, Sonny and Michael. Fredo is the oldest son. But he is a cowardly man. And he thinks that the family members will safety vie the compromise, of course, it’s unpractical.

Sonny is the second son, he is brave and care the family, but he isn’t fit the position of the leader because he is too emotional and impetuous. The last son, Michael is the best selector to take in the godfather for he is strong, brave and clever enough, but as a hero of the WWII, he won’t involve the business of the family and want to live the normal life like the general people. But after the shooting of his own father, the dead

of his brother and wife, he can’t stand by. He decided to revenge, and protected his family members.

Michael became the new godfather finally, but he don’t like the power, and don’t want to kill people at all. So he isn’t really happy. To Michael, the “godfather” is something he have to accept, it’s a duty, or a task, otherwise, the people he love may be injurd.

In the really life, we may have to accept something sometime, like the Michael. Maybe we may feel unhappy or angry. But in a people’s life, it’s always the situation like that, and we have to experience them.
